If there are no input sources in the list which you want to use, try the following command on the terminal and restart the desktop:

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.input-sources show-all-sources true

There may be no shortcut key to turn on/off the input method by default. you can enable it as the following steps:

click on the Switch to next source, press ctrl + space.

Fonts

fonts-tweak-tool now supports the language ordering to decide what language has precedence to display the text, and the font properties to change the sub-pixel rendering and hinting configuration per fonts.

Liberation fonts is rebased to Google's CrOS Core fonts and has more improvements for hinting data and coverage.

$HOME/.fonts.conf is deprecated. the users are encouraged to move it to $HOME/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf.

$HOME/.fonts.conf.d is deprecated. the users are encouraged to move it to $HOME/.config/fontconfig/conf.d

the fontconfig config files which not enabled by default has been moved from /etc/fonts/conf.avail to /usr/share/fontconfig/conf.avail. if you have any symbolic-links from the old place, please update.
